Placing a line inside the iTextFile PDF generated file

I'm trying to place a line separator in the footer of the generated PDF document using iTextSharp like following:

   public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
    {
        base.OnEndPage(writer, document);
        int pageN = writer.PageNumber;
        String text = "Page " + pageN + " / ";
        float len = bf.GetWidthPoint(text, 8);
        Rectangle pageSize = document.PageSize;
        cb.SetRGBColorFill(0, 0, 0);
        cb.BeginText();

        cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 8);
        cb.SetTextMatrix(pageSize.GetRight(90), pageSize.GetBottom(90));
        cb.ShowText(text);
        cb.EndText();
        cb.AddTemplate(template, pageSize.GetRight(90) + len, pageSize.GetBottom(90));

        // line separator is here
        cb.SetLineWidth(2.0f);   // Make a bit thicker than 1.0 default
        cb.MoveTo(20, document.Top - 40f);
        cb.LineTo(400, document.Top - 40f);
        cb.Stroke();

    }

I'm trying to place the line exactly below the page number like following: enter image description here

Document doc = new Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4,50,50,120,40);

Where values are:

50 - margin left
50 - margin right
120 - margin top
40 - margin bottom

The MoveTo and LineTo method accept parameters as following:

MoveTo(x axis, y axis);
LineTo(x axis, y axis);

Can someone help me out to calculate this? :)

Edit: Just did it

   cb.MoveTo(50f, 80f);
   cb.LineTo(document.PageSize.Width-document.RightMargin, 80f);

Just in case someone else in the future needs it;

Okay so this trick did it (for those who might need it in future):

   cb.MoveTo(50f, 80f);
   cb.LineTo(document.PageSize.Width-document.RightMargin, 80f);

These are the values that I've calculated based on my PDF document's margin that I've shown in my question and they are:

50
50
120
40

You can tell how it's done just by looking at the numbers passed into the LineTo and MoveTo methods;

Cheers
